Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Granite and Marble use in civil construction
Portuguese term or phrase: casquilho
Have seen the many definitions for this word, but none seem to fit the context I have. It's an extract from an interview answer given by an architect talking about use of ornamental stone in building projects, specifically granite cladding.

"Por outro lado, na ponta da aplicação do material, o caráter artesanal pode abrir espaço para o reaproveitamento. O emprego dos chamados CASQUILHOS em revestimentos, o uso de retalhos retangulares de rochas variadas – principalmente em pavimentações externas – e, ao sabor das tendências da moda, o bom mosaico de retalhos irregulares são possibilidades que se somam às muitas outras não diretamente ligadas à construção civil..."

partition tile


Explanation:
Econtrei algo que me parece que é mesmo disso que se trata.
è um tipo de tijolo falso, usado para revestir paredes, chamado casquilho ou lito.(ref. 1)

Encontrei imagens do mesmo tipo de peça, com o nome de partition tile.(ref 2)

Penso que será isto.

chips


Explanation:
Estou a crer que há equívoco no uso do termo, e deve ser "casquilha", ou seja "chips" (vê link abaixo) que são usadas para fins decorativos. Está dentro da mesma linha de pensamento dos "retalhos rectangulares" e "retalhos irregulares", que são maneiras de "abrir o espaço para o reaproveitamento" do material, até fazendo uso do material que não pode ser usado nas aplicações de primeira linha.
